I think he will probably hit 55 goals. Maybe 60. But I don’t think he will replicate last years numbers.
He had 69 goals and what? 19? 20 posts last season? That is absolutely insane.

I bet he scores 60 again.
Only needs 52 to tie Mats if I remember correctly

So hard to believe I'm saying this but if he ONLY gets fifty that would be a let down.
He scored twenty less after hitting sixty the first time. If that happens again he'll be at forty nine. That's a lot of goals that anyone should he proud to score in one season.
But four less than what he needs to break the Leafs record.
I think even Matthews himself would call it a bit disappointing. Unfinished business to say the least. Not the end of the world mind you.
I mean it's still forty nine goals ffs.
Just that we Leafs fans have been spoiled by Matthews accomplishments. We've come to expect great things from him. So when he only comes in as just really, really, good it does seem like a bit of a let down.
Like if McDavid "only" gets a hundred points next year.

lol, I actually did read the OP, but didn't reply the first time in the thread
He needs you to know how mad he is about the playoffs that he can't derive any enjoyment from the regular season or player accomplishments or franchise history.
I don't want to hear a single damn word from these people during the season when we aren't playing well.

The most annoying part of our fanbase. When we play bad it is proof we will never win in playoffs. When we play well it doesn't matter cause it isn't the playoffs lol

Who cares about regular season goal, the real question is will he disappear in the playoffs again………
It’s hard to face facts when all you have is wishes and dreams………
You can go with that reasoning all you like but an extremely strong playoff showing from Matthews would be far more beneficial to his legacy than another rocket Trophy / elite regular season.
I think he hits 60 again.
I honestly thought it was more. Felt like every game there was a post or two lol

You may be correct, let's hope he makes it happen come next spring.

depends if Berube system is more defensive and offense limiting or if we play similar style system as with Keefe just being more aggresive in front of our goalie.
Worst case he gets 45 goals
Reasonable he should be 50-55
Best case - 60-65
Not expecting another 70ish goal season but 60-65 is doable if the offense clicks and we dont have on-ice troubles due to pending contracts and what not
I'll go 57 goals and 44 assists in 79 games

He was second to only Kucherov in shot attempts, and third to Kucherov and Pastrnak in shots.
Among forwards he was ninth in shot attempts that were blocked.
He led in total missed shots:
- most (tied with Forsberg) in shots wide
- 13th (tied) in shots over
- most posts
- most crossbars (tied)
- but tied for 38th in shots missing on the short side, so there is still room for improvement.
If he doesn't get hurt or miss any games...then over.
But that is part of the issue, there is always the chance of an injury or missed games.

I really wasn't offering any opinion on how many goals he scores, just suggesting he could improve the number of times he misses short side.
I think 69 is a number every man strives for....

I think with Berube as coach and the fact he's now wearing the "C", he'll focus more on being a two way centre. Not that he was bad defensively before, just think he'll up that area of his game and hopefully get even better at faceoffs.
Don't think he'll get to 56, can still see him scoring 50 though.
Personally I don't care how many goals he ends up with as long as the team has success, sure hitting 70 would be amazing, but I'd much rather we went on a deep Cup run.
